Fabulous place to view Wellington from the Harbour. For a day or pre-arranged night stay, worth getting a historic tour of what the island was used for and to see Little Blue Penguins or Tuatara! Amazing. Catch a Ferry out from Queens Wharf. https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/wellington-kapiti/places/matiu-somes-island/
